We need leadership. We don't need a doubling down on the failed politics of the past.
Leaders aren't born they are made. And they are made just like anything else, through hard work. And that's the price we'll have to pay to achieve that goal, or any goal.
The mind is like an umbrella. Its most useful when open.
